A beautiful look though how to utilize your inner light in life and how to make your life brighter. Pun intended. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I felt like this book was SPEAKING TO ME. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Heal from Within by Katie Beecher is a guidebook for intuitive wellness. I'm going to be honest, this book just did not work for me. Maybe I just had high expectations, or I'm just not the right target audience. I've had a lot of problems with the book while reading, but I will say it does provide some good advice here and there.
The author references and uses Jungian Therapy repeatedly throughout the book. Jungian Therapy originates from the works of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist who did have some opinions that one could perceive as controversial. The author also uses religious spirituality - one of the reasons I might not be the best target audience since I'm spiritual, but not religious - within the book and has commented on how spiritual influences could influence physical conditions.
Unfortunately, the phrasing of some of the comments can come off rather harmful, especially to others who have mental illnesses, and at times can come off a bit ableist, even if that is not the writer's intention.
At about 34% of the book, the writer promotes the use of coffee enemas to help detoxify the body. However, there is no evidence to support this claim and medical authorities usually advise that this might be dangerous as it carries serious risks such as infections, seizures, heart and lung problems as well as death. The fact the writer neglected to include that information comes off very irresistible to her readers. I wish that she had included the risks within the book for the safety and well-being of her readers. Just saying "if you're not allergic to coffee" doesn't reduce the risk, nor does it help inform her readers of the risks. It still leaves the author also potentially vulnerable to a lawsuit if something were to occur. I seriously just wish that the author had mentioned the risks so that the readers could make an informed decision on whether or not they were going to try it out.
She has also mentioned the use of colloidal silver to help treat sinus problems, however, the use of colloidal silver isn't recommended by the FDA and cites that there is harm in using it.
I did find the writer to be a bit hypocritical when she mentioned how she wished for vaccines to come with a list of risks - maybe it varies from location to location and by vaccine, but all the ones I've gotten have had the risks - but didn't mention the risks of using things like coffee enemas and colloidal silver especially when it is recommended against use.
At times, while reading, the writer came off a bit anti-medication. With such a stigma around medication, the use of langue around it is vital to ensure you're not accidentally giving off the wrong impression.

I wish I could say that I would recommend Heal from Within to others, but I just cannot in good conscious. The good advice in the book just didn't outweigh the information that was alarming to me.

I thought this was an interesting and useful guide for anyone looking to learn more about chakras and how to use them to, as the title states, heal from within. I would say this is probably not my cup of tea as i do have diagnosed mental illnesses which require medications and therefore probably isn’t the type of book that could add anything to my wellness protocols. That being said, i am not going to dock stars because of it because objectively i can see that this would be. useful and interesting book for other people. This book definitely is useful for improving/maintaining “mental wellness” but not something that i would recommend for the treatment of mental illness.

Heal from Within was a surprisingly entertaining informative read about using chakras and intuition for physical and emotional/mental health. There was a heavy focus on chakras which I found extremely useful, and it was information I look forward to using outside of just reading this book. Beecher used her many qualifications on the subject to inform us of the importance of growth and spirituality, and how those things can be connected. Heal from Within was a validating book about holding your body’s health in your own hands, and how energy will truly affect you and your body. This book is perfect for those who are looking to learn more about chakras/spirituality and their healing aspects.
